Overview of this book

Blazor WebAssembly is a revolutionary technology in software development that enables you to develop web applications with a rich user interface using C# without JavaScript. It can be run natively in the browser and soon on mobile apps with .NET MAUI, making it a superweapon in the .NET developer’s toolbox. This capability has opened the doors for the JavaScript community to have a stable framework to build single page applications (SPAs) maintained by Microsoft and driven by the community. Mastering Blazor WebAssembly is a complete resource that teaches you everything you need to build client-side web applications using C# & .NET 7.0. Throughout this book, you’ll discover the anatomy of a Blazor WebAssembly project, along with the build, style, and structure of the components. You’ll implement forms to catch user input and collect data, as well as explore the topics of navigating between the pages in depth. The chapters will guide you through handling complex scenarios like RenderTrees, writing efficient unit tests, using variant security methods, and publishing the app to different providers, all in a practical manner. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills necessary to build web apps with Blazor WebAssembly, along with the basics for a future in mobile development with .NET MAUI and Blazor.

Giving Your App a Speed Boost

Software that is fully functional is not always ready enough to ship. The app must open, let the user navigate between the pages, and update the data in the UI quickly enough to satisfy the user’s expectations.

Blazor WebAssembly provides a set of features for optimizing the performance of the app, in addition to some tips that you can follow in the development phase that will increase the speed of your app significantly. This chapter covers some complex and specialized topics that are useful for creating apps where high performance and efficiency are the key. You may not encounter these situations often, but they are important to learn about so you are fully equipped and ready to handle any challenge that comes your way.

We will start this chapter by introducing the Virtualize component, in addition to some guidelines to help increase the efficiency of your Blazor components, especially when working on large-scale and data-intensive applications...
